Does anybody out there know the resistance of the Fuel Pump Resistor or ballast resistor on the drive side fender on an 89??

Mine looks like somebody hit it with a hammer a couple times. That coil of wire in the ceramic powder doesn't look too safe hanging there.

I also heard a rumor you can completely jumper it out of the system to give the pump a full 12V during run as well as start. Anybody done this?? Any long term effects??
 
You can jumper around it but the fuel pump will make a lot more noise. Just buy a new one at the dealer. I bought one recently and it was $6-7. They don't have them at NAPA.
